Subject to a certain criterion, you may also be eligible for a ‘Protected No Claims Bonus’ and ‘Driving Other Cars (see below). Please refer to our Policy Document for full details of cover.

If you purchase an its4women.ie Xtra policy and during the period of insurance, the windscreen or windows in your car are damaged, we will pay for the cost of repair or replacement and the repair of any resulting scratching to surrounding bodywork. If this is the only damage you are claiming your no claim discount will not be affected.

A ‘Driving Other Cars Extension’ provides third party only* cover in the event of an emergency for you, the policyholder to drive another private car which you do not own or have not hired or leased.

You still have your vehicle which it is not damaged beyond cost-effective repair;

*Third Party Only - liability to a third party for death, injury or damage to their vehicle or property.

If you hold a full 5-year no claims bonus which you have earned from a policy in your own name, you may be eligible for a protected no claims bonus which allows you to make 2 at-fault claims (claims where the insurer are unable to recover their losses from another source) in a 5-year period before your no claims bonus is affected. Following your third claim, your no claims bonus will be reduced in line with our step-back scale at the time.

Here at its4women.ie we offer three different classes of use (restrictions apply) which will be outlined on your Certificate of Motor Insurance:

Social Domestic and Pleasure

Social, Domestic and Pleasure provides cover for the drivers named on the certificate of insurance for every day, driving e.g. visiting family/friends or shopping. Travelling for work purposes is excluded.

Commuting

Commuting provides cover for travelling to and from one permanent place of paid employment, school or college. If you part travel e.g. to a railway station or take someone else to work, you will require this level of cover.

Class One

If you use your car as part of your job to travel to other locations as well as your usual place of work, you will require Class One Business Use. Cover for the carriage of passengers (excludes car sharing), commercial travelling, soliciting for orders and the carriage of goods and/or samples is excluded.

You can select your class of use at the start of your policy, or, if your circumstances change, you can add it throughout the policy term via your Online Portal. Adding business cover can increase your premium but you can avoid admin charges by making the change online.

Unfortunately, we don’t offer anything higher than class one business use.

This policy operates throughout Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Great Britain, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands including travel by sea between ports.

Foreign Travel

The cover under your policy is automatically extended when your car is being driven or used in any of the following countries for a maximum 45 days in any one period of insurance:

Any other country which is a member of the European Union;

Switzerland, Iceland and Norway

If your car will be driven in any of the above countries for a period exceeding 45 days in any one period of insurance, cover will only be extended if you notify us in advance of your car leaving Ireland.
